A Double Diamond Vacation






Most of you know that both of us have a passion for all things skiing! It started out early for each of us as kids and has progressed into our favorite activity to do together. We've decided at least one trip a year is an annual requirement. Our trip last year to Breckenridge with Sarah's sister, Katie and boyfriend was going to be hard to top - but after pairing up for the '09 excursion with our great friends Brian and Kerry we knew we were in for a blast!

Wednesday after work the four of us loaded up the Honda Pilot; men navigating in the front, women with the DVD player and GPS in the back and we were off! We drove strait through to Denver where we arrived somewhere around 1 or 2 in the morning and crashed at the hotel in preparation for our last hour of the drive the next morning.

We reserved a condo at the base of the mountain and close to the village. We skied hard three days and were fortunate enough to have warm, sunny weather! The trip lacked fresh powder - but certainly no lack of adventure. We spent a few nights out dining and shopping and stumbled upon a new favorite restaurant in Breckenridge called Mother Loaded. The place is small, so arrive early - but in the event your apres ski goes long, it's well worth the wait!

The trip ended with a Sunday full of driving. We all had a wonderful time, but were glad to have our own beds to come home to, to rest our sore legs!
